Hi there,

Welcome to the community!


Sorry to hear about the permissions related error when you're trying to save a file using the Save for Web option in Photoshop.

Thanks for sharing the version info. Could you please let us know the macOS version you're working with?

Could you please try granting Read and Write permissions to the Adobe folder at the locations mentioned in the link: Required permissions for Photoshop

If that doesn't help, then try creating a new user account on the Mac & let us know

Hello,

 

I just solved this problem on my Mac by doing 2 things. Unfortionately I don't know which one solved the issue, but you can check individually if you have this problem.

 

I disabled Dropbox Backup (Documents and Desktop) und uninstalled GoodSync. Now I can use 'Save For Web' again!

I have a feeling Dropbox Backup Desktop was the issue. Have a try.

 

Hope I could help....

You are completely right, I was the one that said the problem originated in Dropbox. If anyone does not know how to unsync the backup from dropbox, here's the procedure:

Click the Dropbox icon in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac). 
Click your profile picture or initials.
Click Preferences.
Click the Backups tab. (Previously Import tab)
Click Manage backup. 
Uncheck the folders you’d like to remove from Dropbox or toggle all files to Off. 
Click Save.

Another option (after I tried EVERYTHING, to no avail). I did Export>Save for Web>Save. BUT I saved to a folder, not my desktop and the error triangle disappeared. OMG Adobe please fix this. I spent two hours messing with the issue.

Two years on and this is not fixed? I'm getting it today on PS 24.1 and Ventura 13.2.1

Looks like one of those Adobe things where they charge your credit card, we complain, they ignore, and keep charging our credit cards with no consequence or action.

I'll add my "it worked for me" to disable the dropbox backups. I turned them back on and it seems to be working still.  What a weird little problem. I would have never figured this one out.

I am having this same issue and followed all the instructions. Gave Photoshop full disk access on my mac. Also installed and updated Mac OS and Photoshop.

It seems to be a bug with Adobe, which seems to happen quite often I am sorry to say. 

 

Used Premier to create the Gif and compressed it with https://ezgif.com.

 

Please advise when the bug will be fixed. Thanks.

I was able to fix this issue by re creating the user profile... well see if it breaks again.
